Twelve-year-old Elizabeth is sent to spend the summer with her distracted, scholarly aunt at a Scottish manor house and finds herself mysteriously able to interact with the 18th-century family who once lived there.

“Time-slip” stories were a huge childhood favourite of mine and this 1975 novel is such a good addition to the genre.

elkeOriginal Sounds delightful! 12mo

slategreyskies I really should pose more of my books with some of my Blackwings. Love them! 12mo

#HidingFromTheLight #BarbaraErskine

This is my first Barbara Erskine novel. It is a story about Emma Dickson who is drawn to a cottage in the woods and decides to move there alone. Piers is living in London and because of his job does not want a long commute. The cottage is haunted by Liza, the herbalist. Emma turns to the rector for help but he is in the grip of something inexplicable and dangerous.

Tove_Reads, Andrew65

EadieB This was a story of good versus evil and races to a heart-stepping climax. I enjoyed the story very much and will now be looking to read other Erskine books. They are a great escape from mystery books that I normally read. If you enjoy books about ghosts and witches then you will love this book. 2y

Tove_Reads Ah, you liked it, good! I thought it was awful. Definitely not for me. 2y

EadieB @Tove_Reads That‘s funny! 2y

Andrew65 I‘ve only just managed to start this although did read it about 15 or so years ago. I wouldn‘t say it was my favourite of hers from memory. Much prefer Lady of Hay, Kingdom of Shadows and Child of the Phoenix. @Tove_Reads
Those have more of a historical dimension. (edited) 2y

Even if you don‘t have an interest in fossils – which I don‘t – if you love historical mysteries, you‘ll love this book of family adopted and biological, and histories of both the living and the dead.
